Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

"You're right, but the two are bound to go together, right?"

Sophia asked.

"It seems so."

Li Fan couldn't give a definite answer, but according to the current official history of Monster Hunter World, it is indeed true.

"Thank you for your reply. I will hurry up and make the frog puppet bag."

"Okay, bye."

The two left the puppet shop and let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Sophia feels weird, especially when it comes to the Legendary Hunter of the Brigade."

Eudora said with emotion.

"That's the one you haven't seen before."

Li Fan informed.

"Oh! You also have an intersection with the Hunter Brigade?"

Eudora said incredulously.

Because in terms of experience, Li Fan's past is a bit too rich.

"I just heard some gossip."

"What gossip?"

"Sofia likes monsters very much, almost obsessively. When sketching, she will carefully observe and record even the subtle movements. For monsters that cannot be witnessed and observed, she will let others imitate the monster's movements for her to see. Perhaps it is this extreme love. That's what prompted her to join the Hunter Brigade as a receptionist."

"It sounds a bit like you."

Eudora suddenly said.

"It's different. The monster and I are just pure friendship. She is different. Sophia once regarded Broken Dragon as her first love."

"Huh?"

Yudora opened his mouth slightly, and froze in place.

"Anyway, it's hard to speculate on the idea, and the disappearance of the legendary brigade hunter seems to have had a great impact on her, and she always feels that something is going to go wrong."

Li Fan thought about it.

"Sophia is no longer a receptionist, so it should be fine."

Eudora speculated.

If the receptionist distributes the contract indiscriminately to substandard hunter teams, or maliciously alters the information, it can indeed cause great harm.

But Sophia is no longer a receptionist, and there is no reason why sewing a puppet can pose a threat.

"Hopefully, it's time we got ready too."

The steel dragon and the mantis may not really come to attack Dongduoluma, but it is definitely necessary to conduct combat drills in advance.

In addition, the identification of information is also very important, but unfortunately there are only two hunters in the team, so Li Fan thought of making reasonable use of the power of the guild and the newly recruited treasure hunting team.

Very late in the evening.

Sophia stuffed the drawing board into her backpack, took her favorite green shawl and wrapped it around her neck, picked up the sewing box and walked out the door, locking the door of the puppet shop.

The commercial street in East Doruma is a little deserted at this time because of the Lao Shanlong's invasion of the city-state.

"Miss Sophia!"

Hearing the shout, Sophia turned her head to wait and see.

Aiden in armor ran over with a smile, scratched the back of his head and said, "Can I treat you to dinner?"

Sophia glanced in the direction of the puppet shop, and turned her gaze back.

"How do you know I'm free?"

"Uh haha, I think the puppet shop has been closing early recently."

"So, it's not the first time you've observed me."

Sophia rubbed her chin in thought, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"No! I'm definitely not spying on you! It's just that every time I come back from training in the arena, I happen to see you closing the shop."

Aiden quickly explained.

"I believe you, but I'm sorry, there are still many orders that have not been completed."

Sophia said without apology, and raised the sewing box in her hand.

"Excuse me. Miss Sophia, don't work too hard."

Aiden persuaded.

"understood."

Seeing Sophia's disappearing figure, Aiden sighed weakly, but soon smiled again.

"That's right! She's just busy with work recently, and she didn't explicitly reject me, which means I still have a chance!"

Aiden turned optimistic.

East Doruma Waterway Port Warehouse, in a medium-sized warehouse.

"Master, this is the material you want."

The man wearing a black robe and a hood knelt on one knee while offering a stack of sheets wrapped in black cloth with both hands.

The green-robed man, who was also in the typical dress of the Dragon Worship Cult, took it lightly and said in a low voice, "Miraboreas will forgive you."

"Master, the Lao Shanlong is coming soon, and the cargo volume at the port has been greatly reduced. The congregation took a lot of effort to hide from the guild's inspection. Everyone wants to know, do we need to escape this time?"

The man in black robe asked respectfully.

"Catastrophe is bound to come, and it doesn't make any sense to escape or not to escape."

"Can you tell me in advance the specific time when the steel dragon and the unknown monster will attack in the prophecy?"

"It's not appropriate to reveal it yet. I'll let you know when the time is right. Where did you find the red-robed preacher next to the fountain in the central square? You can't memorize words for two months."

"I'm sorry, Master! It's our disadvantage in employing people."

The black-robed man lowered his head again.

"Okay, I still have things to deal with, let's get back."

The man in black stepped back and left slowly, walking out of the warehouse gate.

The man in the green robe pulled off his hood, and in the slanting moonlight, Sophia's face appeared.

After changing clothes, carrying the leaf-shaped object wrapped in black cloth on her back, and picking up the sewing box, Sophia took the rail car to the north city gate.

After showing the five-star editor's medal to the guards and leaving the city smoothly, she took the Bobo bus and continued on her way.

Until reaching the junction of the plain and the desert, change to a sand boat and move on again.

After a 5-hour journey, we finally came to the outskirts of the lost ancient city full of ruins.

The Lost Ancient City is not a dangerous place, but there are often reports of sightings of giant monsters.

The strange thing is that in these reports, each eyewitness described the shape of the monster differently.

crawling dragon, standing man, curly snake
At the same time, these reports were all accompanied by sandstorms. In the eyes of the guild, they were only misread or mirages, and they were completely ignored.

But even so, it is also very dangerous for the editor to do ecological surveys alone without the escort of hunters.

"This editor, I admire your courage, but it's late at night, it's better not to be brave. The sand boat will reach the village in two hours. Rest for a night and come back during the day."

Captain Shazhou persuaded and explained.

"Don't worry about the captain, the accompanying hunters have arrived ahead of time, and I will summon them with signal flares as soon as I get off the boat."

Sophia, who packed her belongings, told me.

"Then I'm relieved. The cat and cat treasure hunting team over there! The lost ancient city you are going to has arrived, remember to bring your belongings."

While lowering the sail of the sand boat, the captain shouted a reminder.

"Thank you Captain Meow! Gold and Silver! Pearls! Emeralds! Let's go!"

treasure cried out.

pat!

Sleeping jade, the bubbles on the tip of her nose exploded, she got up and rubbed her eyes and said, "Sail... set sail meow."

As Sha Zhou left, only Sophia and the treasure hunting team were left in the dark and silent desert.

"Cats, why don't you start yet?"

Sophia stood still for a while, and asked curiously when she saw that the treasure hunting team was still standing by.

"We are guarding you, meow! Don't worry, we will stay here until the hunter teammates come to join us, and we won't go anywhere."

Treasure informed.

"It's really kind."

Sophia gave a dry laugh.

"You haven't released the signal flare yet, did you forget to carry it meow? I have it here! What color is the assembly signal you agreed upon?"

Jinyin said as he opened the backpack, revealing flares of various colors.

"Uh black."

"Oh! Ink signal bomb meow!"

Jinyin said, and handed over one.

Sophia's eyes twitched, she didn't expect it to happen.

"Release ink flares in the middle of the night? How strange meow"

Pearl stroked her chin and analyzed.

"I remembered! The agreement is that they will wait for me inside the lost ancient city, and I will take a step first."

Sophia picked up the sewing box and walked quickly towards the ancient city.

"Okay, the target lost the ancient city! The treasure hunting team has set off, meow!"

Under the cry of the treasure, the treasure hunters lined up and marched happily towards the ancient city.

Sophia clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the scale of the ruins of the city wall exposed from the sand is getting bigger and bigger.

Through a crooked stone arch, Sophia and the treasure hunting team came to a circular open area.

Countless corners of wreckage emerged from the sand, causing the entire area to appear extremely messy.

At the other end directly opposite the stone arch is a castle that has been severely eroded by wind and sand, and only the basic outline can be discerned.

Looking at the smoke from the cooking houses in front of the castle, Sophia, who became alert, quickly hid behind a crooked stone pillar and looked around.

"Look at the standard color of the tent. It seems to be the field investigation team of the guild."

Sophia quickly gave a judgment.

"It's a member of the guild, meow! It must not be discovered."

Caibao exclaimed.

"Indeed, what are you guys doing hiding here in case you get caught?"

Sophia didn't feel right until half of what she said.

"We...we are here to hunt for treasures in the ancient city, meow."

Cai Bao said, squinting his eyes.

"Heh, why is Tanbao afraid of being discovered by the guild?"

Sophia smiled slyly.

"This, this meow."

Treasure looked troubled.

"Aren't you the same, meow."

Pearl raised her paw and said.

"That's right meow."

"It's meow."

Gold, silver and jade, pinching their waists, agreed.

"Then since everyone's goals are approaching the same, why ask about motives?"

When Sophia said this, the four cats looked at each other for a long time, but they couldn't find a single loophole.

"So just act on your own and don't follow me."

Sophia finished speaking with cold eyes, and left the stone arch.

Seeing the other party leave, the golden and silver cat dropped its ears, sighed and said, "What should I do? There is no route to go further into the ancient city, otherwise people from the guild will definitely find out."

"The task assigned by Li Fan this time is so strange. He knew that the guild would definitely visit, but he kept the treasure hunting team from being noticed."

Pearl said suspiciously.

"Li Fan's doing this must have his intentions. Don't be discouraged, everyone, let's find the route separately."

After Caibao gave encouragement, the four Ailu cats split up.

However, before Cai Bao ran far, he saw behind a stone pillar, a slanted figure projected on the sand.

"Ah! You are too cunning to eavesdrop on meow!"

Treasure let out a cry.

But what Caibao didn't know was that Sophia, who overheard the conversation, was also in shock.

I've been spotted!
However, Li Fan did not report the truth to the guild, otherwise it would not be just a field investigation team visiting the ancient city.

Wait a minute, could it be said that the information he possesses is actually very limited, and he guided the guild to visit just to test it out.

At the same time, he was afraid that the guild would have reservations about the investigation information, so he sent a cat and cat treasure hunting team to confirm the guild's investigation trend.

That makes sense!

But does that Li Fan really have such planning ability?

Sophia was in deep doubt.

But soon, she suddenly smiled.

Although a little earlier than expected, at this point in time, no one but him can stop the development of the situation.

The figure behind the stone pillar flashed and disappeared quickly.

Cai Bao wanted to pursue him, but saw Sophia stepping onto a slanted rock wall, skillfully moving quickly along the wrecked city wall.

It felt like coming back to my own home.

Because Cai Bao was not familiar with the terrain, he was completely unable to launch a pursuit.

Not long after, Sophia, who climbed the rope ladder, came to the top of the castle.

Unfold the wrapped black cloth, revealing the gray blade-like insect wings.

"It's time to eat, Winky."

After Sophia finished speaking, she threw the whole stack of gray insect wings out.

Bang!Clap!
After the seemingly light insect wings fell to the ground and hit the ground, they made a metal-like buzzing sound.

The stationed guild field investigation team immediately became alert.

After the members of the night watch took up their weapons for vigilance, dozens of members ran out of the tent.

"Protection queue!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know, it seems that something fell."

"Don't worry, this place is very close to East Doruma, even Gu Long can get support soon."

During a rush of communication, the mentality of the field investigation team quickly stabilized. They were assigned to visit and stationed only today.

In their eyes, this is an extremely easy field survey task.

The reason is that the ruins of the ancient city have been visited countless times, and a lot of ecological information does not need to be investigated at all. It is only necessary to confirm the current situation.

clatter!clatter!
There was a dense stamping sound.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Countless golden threads spread out from under the sand layer, wrapping around the surface of the wreckage.

A field investigation team with a sword in hand saw the huge steel beam half buried in the sand in front of it, which was being quickly wrapped by flying golden silk threads, and raised the sword to chop it.

Squeak!Sparks splash!
The members of the field investigation team were immediately pushed back.

He did not expect that the seemingly soft and light silk thread had a steel-like texture.

"Over there! Something is going over the wall!"

A member of the women's field team points in a direction.

Behind the mottled khaki-colored city wall, a hooked sickle exuding golden radiance hangs on the edge of the wall.

The second hooked sickle followed closely behind, and as the hooked sickle fastened to the wall, a pair of striped compound eyes glowing with a strange purple light slowly rose from behind the wall.

"What kind of creature is this!"

A male member of the investigation team exclaimed.

"Calm down! Record information! The combat team is responsible for protection! Try to buy time for the record!"

Although the middle-aged male team leader also felt bad, he still made arrangements.

Sophia at the top of the castle was not at all moved by the investigation team's behavior.

Instead, he opened the sewing box and wove unfinished monster dolls.
